The Risk

Uninsured Subs Are Your Problem in Florida

Florida law is clear: if a subcontractor you hire is injured on your job site and they don't have their own workers compensation insurance, your policy covers them. That means their payroll gets added to your audit — and you pay their premium.

For Florida general contractors, roofers, and landscapers with multiple subs, this can mean thousands in unexpected audit charges every year. The only protection is a current, verified COI on file for every subcontractor, every day they're on your job.

FAQ

Subcontractor Compliance Questions, Answered

Why does subcontractor insurance compliance matter in Florida?

In Florida, if a subcontractor you hire does not have their own workers compensation insurance, you — the general contractor — can be held liable for any injuries they sustain on your job site. Additionally, uninsured subcontractors are included in your workers comp and general liability audit, dramatically increasing your premium. Proper COI management protects you legally and financially.

What is a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and why do I need to track them?

A Certificate of Insurance (COI) is a document that proves your subcontractor carries their own insurance coverage. In Florida, you need current, valid COIs for every subcontractor to exclude their payroll from your workers comp audit. COIs expire — typically annually — and must be renewed and re-collected each year.

Can Audit Monkey handle subcontractor payments in addition to compliance?

Yes. Audit Monkey manages the full subcontractor lifecycle: collecting and verifying COIs, tracking expiration dates, chasing renewals, and ensuring subcontractors are paid correctly and on time. We also maintain the documentation trail needed for insurance audits.

What happens if a subcontractor's COI expires during a project in Florida?

If a subcontractor's COI expires and they continue working, their payroll during the lapsed period may be included in your workers comp audit — meaning you pay their insurance premium. Audit Monkey monitors all expiration dates and proactively contacts subs to renew before coverage lapses.
